The driver Rick is refering to is me. The fact is,what happened was not what I thought had happened and I blew up on Rick. It started with Jason and Maxy's car(as the photo shows) Rick was trying to do the correct thing and I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I was flat out wrong and for that I'm very SORRY

I don't want to say anything about the incident that my photo captured the end of, but I'd like to suggest that people be reminded in the driver's meeting of something very basic.
Up in Michigan, at *every* driver's meeting years ago, they would emphasize that you don't get upset at the turn marshal - it was "you" who got your car into the predicament on the track, and not the turn marshal's. Yelling at turn marshals sometimes resulted in their placing your car behind the boards, out of harm's way, and just leaving it there.
Nobody should risk getting hurt, just to be a wee bit faster in getting to a dead car. Cars can be fixed much more quickly than feet and legs. Losing your temper and yelling just makes a bad situation that much worse.
-----------------------------
As a suggestion for the appropriate people to consider, there are also some racers who physically are not capable of marshaling cars in some of the most dangerous sections of the track. I saw two incidents at this race, where someone else nearby would go out on the track and go after a car that the marshal wouldn't have been able to. It would be nice if those drivers who don't move as quickly as others, could be assigned marshaling positions where their lack of speed would not be a problem.

Mr. Rick Pinard,
If you live, work and are raising a family here in this country English is your first and primary language!

Gentlemen, let's please relax, try to keep it on topic and not make it political....OR personal. Rick, whenever I see a rookie poster, I'm always suspicious if it's someone starting an extra account just to stir the pot, if it is we can restrict posting privileges or even ban IP numbers (worst case). I really hate to intervene as a moderator and try to stay out if it doesn't involve me, but can't really see this progressing in a positive way.

Hey Mark you were right about putting a stop of a political language debate, it felt like a big tease that could of go on for a while.
But in reality we are part of a world of RC racing, with different language from every part of the world, so my point is in this sport you should be able to accept every other nationality if not you are in the wrong sport.
